From the Family History Library microfilms I located the "Atto della Solenne Promessa di celebrare il Matrimonio" for an ancester in 1834.

I then ordered the Allegati that encompassed this time period, but was totally confused as to how to find information regarding the couple named in the 1834 "Solenne Promessa." The Allegati was not indexed so I was just looking at all the records, and could not find their names. I have had success looking at the birth, marriage, and death records from this commune, but this was the first microfilmed Allegati record I had ordered from FHL.

Any assistance would be appreciated. I returned the microfilm but can re-order again, of course.
